Social Sciences Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:41:38 ESTnews232623673Arranged unions and distrust: The influence of parental choice on mate guardingMate guarding is classified as excessive or unwarranted jealous or protective behavior towards a spouse or mate. This is common among many different species and can be useful to defend territory, guarantee paternity, or prevent disease. The authors of a new study published in Personal Relationships have discovered that this behavior is more common in societies which practice arranged marriages or in cultures that place a high value on parental influence in the choice of mate for their children. Furthermore, the authors comment on the fact that mate guarding is not an exclusively male phenomenon, and women can be just as forceful in protecting their monogamous relationships.http://phys.org/news/2011-02-unions-distrust-parental-choice.html
